Work begins at the Hotel Talisi

There were boots on the ground inside the Hotel Talisi this week as employees with L&E Construction braced the second and third floor of the historic building in preparation of the upcoming roof and partial brick wall removal.

Bracing has been installed and the cause for the partial collapse for the roof at the Hotel Talisi has been uncovered, City of Tallassee building inspector Andy Coker told the city council at its June 11 meeting.

In a second progress report to the council, Coker said L&E Construction has completed the bracing needed to begin the roof and partial removal of a brick wall.
